Global Royalty
Every man is a king
And every woman a queen of her castle
It’s the job of the King
To deal with the hassle
Of the Queens court
Her majesty’s rule is the retort
Ruling the royalty of her brood
She runs the Kingdom and sets the mood
Upon her throne
She issues commands
To the prince and princesses
Throughout her land
She bows to the king
And does her thing
To soothe the crown
And remove his frown
Those he’s in charge
She’s living large
For behind the throne
She controls the bone
And knows she rules alone
The king being happy
Now needs his nappy
And leaves his throne
To rest his royal bone
With his scepter pleased
And his kingdom now seized
Temporary abdication
The queen takes her station
Upon the abandoned throne she rests
And secretly
The King she detests
How he is weak
With an empty sack
Perhaps it is time to attack
And present a list of demands and chores
Get to work king
You worthless whore
Earn your keep
In this castle of yours
Do the laundry
And wash the floors
And while you’re at it paint the doors
You may sit upon the throne
But it is I
Who controls the bone
This is the power I own
So, wear your crown
And do as your told
And you may get lucky
To get into my fold
Outside the kingdom
You’re my king
Here in the castle
You do my thing
We both know
Where the power lies
Under my nose
And between my thighs
So be a good boy
And do as your told
If not
I will grow cold
And look for a new king
To reel in
By his ding a ling
Eric (and sometimes not)
